1 Ian McGonigle and Elise Burton, who were at Harvard University at the same time (Burton as doctoral student, and McGonigle as a postdoctoral fellow), are personally acquainted. Their scholarly interests partly overlap, as do their mentors; for example, they interacted during the symposium “The Molecularization of Identity: Science and Subjectivity in the 21st Century”, held at Harvard in 2016.
2 “Cyprus weddings” are chosen not only by couples unable to marry in Israel, but also by those who wish to have a civil rather than a religious ceremony.

6 I put this sentence in the past tense because it cannot be ruled out that the globalization trends of the first 20 years of the 21st century will be modified—although, one may assume, not entirely reversed— as a result of recent geopolitical developments.
